The hypocrisy you're referring to applies to practically every liberal nation you can name. You're merely selectively, conveniently focusing on the US and narrowly focusing on this issue while ignoring other types of very common border restrictions in "free" countries that like to lecture on human rights.
Shall we discuss border security and immigration (which is a type of border security restriction) policies of Canada, Australia, Japan or the Scandinavian nations - to name a few?
Nearly every liberal democracy is blatantly, intentionally regressive at the border, typically in several different ways.
- 0ld 7y agoI've been crossing the EU border (as a non-EU national) regularly (like once in 1-2 months) since around 15 years. And I've never ever seen anything even remotely resembling the pure insanity that appear to be going on on the US border according to the comments here. I really hope I will never have to go the US to experience that on myself
- calcifer 7y agoHear hear. No EU border agent ever asked if I had a phone, let alone search it.
